Cowboys make roster moves

The Cowboys announced Friday that they’ve released injury-plagued fullback Deon Anderson.

To fill Anderson’s spot on the 53-man roster, Dallas promoted tight end Scott Chandler from the practice squad.

The decision to release Anderson is no surprise considering his injury history and the upside of undrafted rookie fullback Chris Gronkowski, who scored his first NFL touchdown last week with a pass reception against the Bears.

Throw in the fact Anderson had an offseason brush with the law, and it was really a no-brainer for the Cowboys.

Anderson’s biggest legacy: He ate a cricket on a dare during training camp at the Alamodome his rookie season.
